Kevin, and it wasn’t even close. But how is Ramen not on this list? 

The Raptors’ (and Bucks’) season didn’t prove that all you need is KL, it proved that a solidly constructed and well-coached team with a superstar can overcome an injury-ridden team that relies heavily on several talented individuals to make their system function. When one or more of the Laker stars goes down with an…

There was no luck involved in the Suns becoming the Suns, that was all precisely calculated asset management. 

My wife has had acute colitis, which resulted in horrific aftereffects, and now has a mast-cell condition of the bowel. Medications were basically worthless since opioids and tylenol did nothing to soothe the nerves in the bowel and ibuprofen just worsened the problem. She was on neuroinhibitors for years, which left…

I’d love it if this season marks the end of the superteam as we know it.

I’m having some issues with Poe’s Law here, but I’ll answer you straight anyway: for a while I used the cleaver for EVERYTHING. It’s remarkably versatile for basically a giant slab of metal, and you can get one that will sharpen up like a razor for 12 bucks.

I think Luke was better written and directed in JJ than he was in his own series.

Nice knife! Messermeister? 

I love my Chinese vegetable cleaver for this. You can put the whole damn head under it and smash it all at once. 

Spot on. 

This was shit draft and there was no real predictable stars outside of the top 1. Morant might be a better Brandon Knight. Barrett looks a lot like Stanley Johnson with more speed. When you get to pick 6, the Suns could have: Coby White would take shots from Booker and is not really a PG, Culver, another wing(!) and…

I definitely understand that. One benefit of being in Gulf schools in particular is that they generally pay you to fly home in the summer. We would come back and live with our family/close friends for a month or so in the summer, and everyone actually admitted that we actually wound up spending more quality time with…

They will always be the Penis Bandits to me from this point onwards. Thank you for that. 

Congratulations for that - even if the job market sucks, just getting the degree is still an achievement that should mean something. I hope something works out for you soon.

I think I’ve had more luck because I have remained outside of America.

Adjuncting, lecturer positions, visiting positions and exploited graduate labor are keeping universities as we know them afloat. It’s unsustainable and unfair and won’t change as long as unscrupulous universities keep feeding graduate students Ph.D.s that they know will have little value in the current academic job…

Hey, awesome. That sounds like it can do whatever my credit card and online banks can do, but without FDIC protection.

Having just shipped a pet from the UAE, I can confirm that if Nermal arrived without the proper paperwork or return address, he’d be held in Customs for a few weeks and then euthanized.

Also, the timing of the trade is now potentially fucking the Lakers cap situation. If the trade goes through on July 6, as planned, and Davis doesn’t waive his $4.1 million trade clause, the Lakers won’t have$32 million in cap space to play with, they’ll have $23 million to fill out a roster that currently consists of…

I’m vacillating between horror that this is a real thing and delight because of your transcript.
